A user came in and reported a problem with the
sparc 4 that's sitting in the main cluster to the right of the
doorway that leads to pulp. There's no number on the workstation,
however it's position on the cluster map on the door to the cluster
corresponds to that of "test-5000".
Anyhow, was at the the ROM monitor and displayed 4 lines of
consectutive A characters. Unplugging and replugging the keyboard
produced a beep and in the first instance "Keyboard error", but
the keyboard still would not allow typing.
As the user had private data on the screen, I turned the machine off
rather than letting it sit, and left a note on it.
Please replace the keyboard/keyboard cabling.
